Supreme clears hurdles for Ayodhya Verdict

The apex court however did not specify any reason for its decision nor did it fix any date for the judgement to be delivered by the Allahabad High Court. With this, the way has been paved for the High Court to give its judgement quickly in view of the fact that one of the judges of the three member Bench, Justice D V Sharma, is to demit office on October 1, platform is set for delivery of the verdict at 3:30 pm on Sep 30.
